The beginning of the cigar journey

Hello all!

This is where I will be typing up journals about cigars I smoke.

Quick history

My very first cigar was back in high school, which was Phillies Titan.  I bought them because I just wanted to be "cool".  Well I didn't know how to enjoy cigars then, and I didn't even know that difference between the low-end cigars and premium cigars.

About a year ago, I picked up some swishers sweets for the nostalgic reason, and I still didn't know how to enjoy them, and to be honest, they were pretty nasty.  Too sweet, and harsh.

So why start this hobby now?  Well I've just been so curious about premium cigars and wondered why people enjoy them so much.  So I went ahead and picked up some cigarillos to try it out.  They are Cohiba, Montecristo, and Romeo Y Julieta.


I must say, I was quite impressed with the aroma, and didn't realize how good the real tobacco tasted.  Yeah they were pretty strong, but I could see myself really enjoying them

The old man at the cigar shop was nice enough to tell me that these are 3 of the most popular brands, so I went ahead and go with them.  The shop clerk did tell me that cigarillos are going to feel really strong, and the actual cigars are going to be a lot smoother so I think I will slowly making the transition to the cigars as I try to learn and understand the flavor of the tobaccos.

Until next time, see you!
